Queen of Blades call for suggestions
🕑 Added 2025-02-11 22:40:01 +0000 UTCHello,
I'll probably start working on a Queen of Blades model on Friday, and since this is a character that's been suggested since the early days of my Patreon, I wonder if some of you want to make suggestions for the kind of pose and scene you'd like to see her in.
I ask this because, frankly, this is a very different character than the ones I usually make here, so I'm in big doubt about whether it's OK to put her in a sexy pinup pose, or if only a standard standing action pose would be valid for this character.
Anyway, if anybody wants to contribute with ideas for poses/setting, please do so here. It will help me understand the possibilities around the Queen of Blades.

All right, I think you won me with your proposal. I'll try to go with this one, although it probably won't be identical. I'll post a few preview images with my sketch to gather some thoughts.

Here's an example of how you could potentially reduce the workload on that image and still achieve largely the same outcome. Just throwing out ideas. Basically, it would entail replacing most of the zerglings with background objects while preserving the most important zergling of the bunch, which is the one she's leaning her hand on. https://imgur.com/a/o5zPD1l

Your first image is my favorite so far, but it would require the insects too, which would be too much work for the time I have available for this project. And I'm keeping the Sideshow example as one of my main references. If I could make something in the same line, I'd be quite happy.

Just to point out, that as the queen of blades she's effectively naked all the time, her body is covered by Zerg membranes and scales.

great idea on spicing it up, terran AI assistant all torn to pieces would fit perfectly

Mayflies Studio did something similar to this. They added the extra flair of her holding the Terran AI assistant and standing atop a fallen Marine. The pose itself is good, but if Torrida goes with this particular image, they might want to spice it up in a similar manner. https://toyokoku.com.au/product/mayflies-studio-starcraft-1-5-kerrigan-gk-resin-statue-preorder/

https://ibb.co/sdcXqB73 - this is my humble contribution - still from the Intro, pretty iconic dommy-mommy

Agreed. This is another good pose for her.

The pose from the Starcraft 2 cinematic where a Hydralisk comes behind her and she pets its head is great. The fight with Zeratul. 3:15 https://youtu.be/rgatL2LQKLI?si=cKTS6ytZg2SqCZO7

And a variation of that base would be killer

I absolutely love the pose of the picture you posted, if even possible!

Nancy Kerrigan looks pissed

Depending on how elaborate you want to get, I've always liked this piece of her the most. https://imgur.com/a/5f9mROD To elaborate, Kerrigan is basically the queen of a race of alien insects. Her appeal is less about her combat prowess and more about her strategic intelligence and her commanding presence as a queen. So rather than an action pose, you'd be better off with something regal and dominant while also remaining feminine. The one you posted is actually one of the better art pieces of her. The only thing is it gets kinda tricky to make a statue of that specific pose seeing as she's levitating. Sideshow Collectibles made a variant on it where she's standing atop the spire and extending her arms in a sexy pose type of thing. https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/starcraft-kerrigan-sideshow-collectibles-200312 Anyways, that's just my 2 cents.

Here's three suggestions based on Wolverine: https://imgur.com/a/KiaT1Fv One is more feminine, sexy pose. Two are more action-like. Just extend the fingers out and sub the metal claws for her actual claws.
Brett
What about the same pose as in the image you included, but with the "wing" appendages coming further down to touch the ground? Then she can be suspended in air without her feet making ground contact
MalkavianLogic
An action pose that still highlights her body curves. Something standing and looking stoic but ready to pounce at any moment, or with an air of dignant victory
Cover The Soil
I really like the pose in the image you posted, Torrida, though it might be easier to model and base if standing. Perhaps legs like in the image from Prof Sinistar, above. It does lend an otherworldly aspect to be floating, though. A confident, dominant or triumphant pose like that would definitely suit the character. I would still like to see a nude/exposed variant, for sure.
